Chapter 170

“If my analysis above is correct, then she must have brought the underwear to Lijiang herself,” Han An said. “You also said that the underwear is not good for the genital area, so of course she couldn’t have worn it all the time. She probably only prepared to wear it after seeing her lover. But because the two of them had a fight this time, she didn’t even have the chance to wear it, which is why there was no discharge on it.”

“So what do you plan to do?”

“I need to find the man who has been in my neighborhood.”

“Is there a way?”

“There should be. Just wait for my good news.”

“Then let me know as soon as you have any news.”

“Have I been completely honest with you?”

“It feels like it, what’s wrong?”

“Then can you also be completely open with me?”

“Of course not,” Gao Yining said with a smile. “A girl can’t confide in a man unless she has fallen in love with him.”

Han An felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing Gao Yining’s words.

After smiling, Han An said, “Actually, I just wanted to know why you were drinking.”

“I was going to say this is just my daily routine, but since you’re willing to tell me your private matters, I’ll tell you too,” Gao Yining said. “My dad is a chairman of the board, and I’m his only daughter, so in your eyes I should be a very lucky girl. Actually, my relationship with my dad isn’t good, not just because he wants me to be with that rich kid, but also because he’s like a surveillance camera. Even when he’s not around, I feel like he’s watching me. Like when I was in college, he was afraid I’d date, so he hired a nanny to watch over me. This morning, because he wanted me to have lunch with that rich kid, I argued with him. After the argument, feeling a bit depressed, I took a bottle of wine that he’d treasured for many years, the one you just drank from.”

“I really don’t know what to say.”

“Are you saying I’m too delicate?”

“It’s your father’s fault. He shouldn’t have treated you like a commodity.”

“That’s what I meant too,” Gao Yining said with a smile. “Because of my dad’s strictness, I actually have very few friends, whether male or female. As for your cousin and me, it’s mainly because we have work-related interactions, so my dad hasn’t interfered. As for you, my dad has become suspicious.”

“Does that mean I won’t be able to come here anymore?”

“As long as he doesn’t bump into you, everything will be fine.”

“Anyway, I’ll come here less often in the future.”

Actually, I didn’t want you to come.

“Don’t worry, I understand.”

“You don’t understand,” Gao Yining said. “I don’t want you to come because I’m afraid my dad will see you, or because I’m afraid of arguing with him. It’s because if you come, it won’t be to chat with me; it will be to get me tested. And if it’s a test, it will definitely be related to your wife’s infidelity, which means you’re definitely not in a good mood. As your friend, I naturally hope you’re in a good mood.”

“Thank you for your concern. I’ll feel better once the truth comes out.”

“Actually, I should thank my dad,” Gao Yining said. “Because he was too strict, I never liked going out to play. I always stayed at home or in the lab fiddling with this and that. If I had gone out to play like other girls, I might not be who I am today.”

“Some things feel much better when you look at them from a different perspective.”

“But don’t you think this sounds like self-comfort?”

“When you can’t change the situation, comforting yourself is a good method.”

“I’ve thought about moving out several times, but I’m afraid it will worsen the conflict between my dad and me.”

“Is even a heart-to-heart talk useless?”

“It’s no use, I know his bad temper all too well.”

“Then we can only move out after you get married.”

“Something that is out of reach.”

“I should probably go now, or I might run into your dad again.”

“Would you like another drink?”

“If possible, I wouldn’t mind having two drinks.”

Upon hearing Han An’s words, Gao Yining poured him a glass of wine.

After drinking it all in one gulp, Han An offered to hand over the small wine glass.

After Gao Yining poured another cup, Han An drank it down again.

After drinking two cups, Han An still felt a little unsatisfied.

However, feeling embarrassed to ask for another drink, Han An put down his small wine cup and said goodbye.

After Han An left, Gao Yining poured herself a glass of wine and took a small sip.

After tasting it, she stared at the small wine glass.

Noticing a barely noticeable dent on the rim of the glass, she realized that she was holding the small wine glass that Han An had used before.

That means Han An just drank from her small wine glass.

Because she had been to the testing room, Gao Yining mistakenly thought her small wine glass belonged to Han An when she returned, which is why she poured wine for Han An to drink.

Frowning slightly, Gao Yining placed the small wine glass on the desk.

At the same time, the planning department of Jiangnan Travel Agency.

At this moment, Bai Jing was chatting with Wu Qing about work.

Because Wu Qing is quite talkative and has no airs at all, Bai Jing and Wu Qing had a very pleasant chat.

While they were chatting, Bai Jing’s phone suddenly rang.

Upon hearing the phone ring, Bai Jing asked, “Should I silence it during work hours?”

“If you don’t want to mute it, you can turn the ringtone down a little.”

“Understood.”

As she spoke, Bai Jing smiled and picked up her phone.

Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number from Shenzhen, Bai Jing answered the call.

Are you alone?

When Bai Jing heard Amu’s voice, the smile on her face immediately disappeared.

After glancing at Wu Qing, Bai Jing, who was walking outside, asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I’m asking you if you’re alone.”

“I’m at work right now, so it’s not convenient for me to chat with you.”

“Aren’t you not working?”

“I just started working today.”

I want to see you.

“See me? Why?”

“I’m injured.”

Upon hearing these four words, Bai Jing, looking somewhat nervous, quickly asked, “What happened?”

“I was attacked with a knife last night.”

How serious is it?

“He won’t die.”

How serious is it exactly?

“Anyway, I’m not going to die,” Amu asked on the other end of the phone. “Are you going to come see me or not?”

“Where are you?”

“If you’re willing to come over, I’ll tell you the exact location if you’re near OCT.”

“I’m working.”

“Okay, then I know your answer.”

“I’ll come see you after I get off work,” Bai Jing said, having already left the planning department. “Tell me your exact location first.”

“I’ll tell you when you get to the bus stop in OCT.”

Whose number is this?

“From a friend.”

“Can you please stop calling me? You can just send me a WeChat message, right?” Bai Jing said. “Last time I don’t know whose phone you used to call me, but my husband went directly to your friend. If you do it again this time, he’ll easily find out.”

“You don’t want him to know I exist, do you?”
